[Ab]
He was only 19 and was sentenced to die for something that somebody else did and blamed
[Db] on a looter.
[Bbm] Then they changed it to life and so he could escape.
From then [Eb] on they chased him and searched for him day and night [Ab] all over Spain.
But the [Eb] search was in vain for [Ab] a looter.
He had only [Db] seen the dark side of life, the man they called [Ab] a looter.
He [Eb] wanted a home just like you and like me, in a country [Ab] where all would be free.
So he taught [Db] himself to read and to write.
It didn't [Ab] help, the looter.
He was one [Eb] who had to escape overnight.
They had [Db] to find, [Ab] a looter.

Soon the flame of his name spread like wildfire [Eb] all over the land.
[Dbm] With a price on his head, people still gave him bread.
[Eb] And they gave him a hand, [Abm]
[Eb] for the new day was ripe.
[Ab] And his fight was their fight.
No one gave you a chance in the Spain of those days.
On the walls of every place they had put up the face of [Db] a looter.
[Bbm] And he robbed where he could, just like once Robin Hood.
They finally [Eb] caught him and that seemed the end.
But [Ab] they caught him in vain.
Cause [Eb] of change came for Spain, [Ab] and a looter.
He had only [Db] seen the dark side of life, [Ab] a looter.
[Eb] He wanted a home just like you and like me, in a country where [Ab] all would be free.
And then freedom [Db] really came to his land, and also to [Ab] a looter.
Now he walked [Eb]
for a stunning new day, the man [Db] they call [Ab] a looter.
He had only seen [Db] the dark side of life, the man they call [Ab] a looter.
And he [Eb] wanted a home just like you and like me, in a country where [Ab] all would be free.
And then freedom [Db] really came to his land, and also to [Ab] a looter.
